My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Apart from Shen Ci, Xie Ruzhuo has no one else who can trust and rest assured, so he will talk to Du Ruo about some important matters, especially when Shen Ci is not in the capital, these days Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been checking Huayang , Du Ruo knew.

Before, he always thought that Xie Ruzhuo was just guarding against Hua Yangjiao's evil intentions, coupled with the fact that Sun Bingde and him were in a good relationship, sooner or later it would be a hidden danger, but Xie Ruzhuo had been wary of this person's ulterior motives.

In his contact with Hua Yangjiao, he could also feel that this person is very shrewd. He never leaks water in his words and deeds, making it hard for people to see through. Some ideas are a bit weird and confusing, but he has never had the heart of collaborating with the enemy. think.

Thinking back on what Hua Yangjiao did in the past now, his whole body was chilled, whether it was getting close to Song Qinglai, or being caught between him and Sun Bingde, it was a bit shocking to think about it deeply.

In Yongning Palace, Xie Ruzhuo's face was already gloomy, before Du Ruo had time to salute, Xie Ruzhuo waved his hand and said: "Sir, there is no need to be too polite, come and see this."

Du Ruo picked up a piece of paper a few feet long on the table, on which he wrote in small letters in detail everything about Hua Yangjia that Dongchang and Jinyiwei had investigated before and after Huayangjia left Beijing, from the people he had contacted to the places he had visited. places, including the specific circumstances of those places.

There were no problems in the front, but Du Ruo stared at the newly found place at the back, frowned tightly, sweating, took a deep breath and said, "The Mo Zhaichen in the west of the city has also been to this place, and there are many people in the middle of the court. The adults should have been there. The brushes and inks sold here are complete and of high quality. However, Suifang does not produce ink. The best ink in Dayu is produced in Hengchuan, so everyone has always known that Suifang’s ink is shipped from other places. Yes, I usually don't think there is any problem."

Xie Ruzhuo hadn't spoken for a long time, and after living a new life, he still had to face such a fact. He felt both chilled and exhausted.

As soon as Hua Yangjia went to Hengchuan, Dongchang and Jinyiwei began to investigate freely in Beijing. They thoroughly checked the places Hua Yangjia usually went to, and the three shops that Xie Ruzhuo circled at that time were even more The focus of the investigation is to dig out all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the shop assistants.

Before the army set off, they hadn't found any obvious abnormalities, but Dongchang and Jinyiwei would squat around the three stores every day, and would pretend to be buyers to enter the store from time to time to make routines.

This ink shop in the west of the city has been open in Lezhou for several years, and it has been well received. Dongchang and Jinyiwei have checked the shopkeeper and the shop assistants, and they all seem to be innocent, and several regular customers in the shop have also checked After looking it over, I found nothing wrong with the few local academies except the court officials. Everyone guessed that if there was a problem, it was caused by the goods shipped from other places or the caravan that came to deliver the goods.

Not long after the army left Beijing, Jingzhong checked the business travelers entering and leaving the capital for a few days on the grounds that the war was urgent, and also conducted spot checks on the goods brought in, but they didn't dare to check too much, for fear of causing panic in the city.

The investigation did not find any problems. They guarded the various shops for a few days, and finally waited for a caravan to deliver goods to this Mozhai. The identity documents and the like were complete, but they knew that the caravan They came from the north of Hengchuan, which borders Chizhou and is a sensitive place, so I kept an extra eye on it, and urgently followed up and investigated it during the two days the caravan stayed in the capital.

Hard work paid off, they followed this group day and night, and finally they found out that someone left something in a stone brick in the corner of an alley, and the group went to pick it up on the last day, and they showed up immediately. Detain this group of people and snatch what they wanted.

That alley was dilapidated and inconspicuous, and the people living there were all poor households at the bottom. It was far-fetched to point to Hua Yangjiao. Xie Ruzhuo had already got what they wanted, which was a road map for the march.

After reading it carefully, Xie Ruzhuo thought it was painted by Hua Yangjiao.He should have drawn Shen Ci and Song Qingge's marching route based on what he learned and his own guesses. He may have drawn it before he left Beijing, but he didn't send it out for fear of accidents on the way, but waited for the one over there. People take it by themselves, so that he will bear less responsibility, which is his consistent style of being cautious and cautious.

Xie Ruzhuo had to sigh again that Hua Yangjiao is really a genius. He is no longer in the Ministry of War and cannot get too much inside information. Many of the marching routes are based on analysis of the situation. Before leaving Beijing, he talked to Sun Bingde quietly and had a further analysis, but Sun Bingde has probably never thought that this young man who was once optimistic about him has been using him all the time.

This ink studio is the best cover just because everyone thinks that there is no problem. There are a lot of people who go here to buy ink in the imperial court, and no one will suspect that Hua Yang is among them. Caravans transported from other places can also deceive people when they enter the city. Xie Ruzhuo sighed: "Hua Yangke doesn't go often, it's like buying new ink after running out of ink. There is no rule to follow in time, and he has bought ink before. It’s not just this one store, it’s more like he doesn’t have a lot of affection for this store, he just bought it on his way home after clearing the value, and he also bought it in two stores near his home.”

"Looking at the situation that Jinyiwei found out, the owner of this store didn't know the truth, saying that their ink used to be shipped from the northern part of Hengchuan, and they have been cooperating with these ink merchants, but they came to Beijing to deliver the ink. The current people are not leading the shipment. The world is in chaos now, and Hengchuan has just gone through the war, and no one thinks about changing the leader of the Mo merchants." Du Ruo looked at the content on the paper again, "So every time the caravan enters the city It might be that the things that need to be delivered are also placed in the stone bricks in that alley, or that there are actually people in the store who cooperate with each other?"

"There must be someone from Dazhao in the store, otherwise Hua Yangjiao went here to buy some ink, some things might be wrapped in ink, when Hua Yangjiao went to buy it, the people in the store gave him the ink that had been prepared a long time ago, Complete the transfer. Hua Yangjie has something to pass on himself, and he can secretly pass it to that person while buying ink, and ask that person to hand it over to the caravan entering Beijing." Xie Ruzhuo now has a terrible headache just looking at this piece of paper, " The stone bricks in the alley must also be useful. Maybe Hua Yangke had something to pass on, but he felt it was not safe to go to the store, so he left it there to pick it up when the caravan entered the city. After all, Hua Yangke is such a shrewd person , will do everything possible to erase the traces."

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly." Du Ruo frowned, "All the things His Majesty has found out are based on your suspicion of Hua Yangjia, but the evidence before us does not point to Hua Yangjia collaborating with the enemy and treason. , He really wiped the traces very clean, whether it is Mo Zhai or that alley, it can be said that it has nothing to do with him."

"Yes, but hasn't Jin Yiwei already detained that caravan?" Xie Ruzhuo's eyes were dark, "Then let's interrogate them. They went to the alley to get this picture, which shows that they are not ordinary merchants, and the battle ahead is imminent." , I didn’t arrest people randomly and wrong them.”

Why is the trial a matter between Jinyiwei and Dongchang? Du Ruo wouldn't ask too many questions, but the matter was never over. He picked up the marching route map and looked at it, and said, "Why does Hua Yangjia think that Song Zongbing will go to Minzhou?"

"Shen Ci and Song Qingge are both in Xuanyi Mansion at this time. In fact, it mainly depends on Xu Zishen's actions. From the current point of view, Xu Zishen's horizontal army position is very likely to break through from Wuzhou, and another army will go to Dianzhou to fight Shen Ci at the same time. So the first person to meet Xu Zishen face-to-face should be Song Qingge who didn’t run away.” Xie Ruzhuo pointed to the marching route map, “At this time, Song Qingge’s safest and most suitable route for his fighting style should be to enter Wuzhou in advance and wait for Xu Zishen to come, just hold on In Wuzhou, Xu Zishen postponed the offensive, and Song Qingge could go out of Wuzhou to counterattack and push the front to the south. But what Hua Yangjiao imagined was that Song Qingge would choose to go to Minzhou first and put the main force in Minzhou."

"Minzhou has already left the jurisdiction of Xuanyi Mansion. Although it is very close to Wuzhou, not far from the north to the south, it is not in our hands now. If Song Qingge goes directly to Minzhou, it will be a risky one in comparison. Move." Du Ruo's heartbeat quickened unconsciously, "At that time, the combat styles of several famous generals were well known throughout the world. Song Qingge was notoriously cautious and rigid, and never took risks. Why did Hua Yangjia decide that Song Qingge would go to Minzhou first?"

Since Hua Yangji has drawn up this route and asked the people of Dazhao to bring it back, it is a matter of great confidence. The front line is still waiting to see, and the war will take a few days before the caravan goes south to Chizhou and handed over to Xu Zishen or It was someone else from Dazhao who was completely in time to come in handy.

The answer seems to be self-evident, Hua Yangjie must have known about Song Qingge's choice in advance, Xie Ruzhuo covered his face with a dejected expression, and thought: Is it true that I can't escape this catastrophe in this life?

"I have sent people out of Beijing to Chizhou to look for Song Qingge. You must persuade them not to go to Minzhou. There must be traps there." Xie Ruzhuo scratched and drew a detailed marching route map, "Jin Yiwei has also gone to Hengchuan Capture Hua Yangjiao."

Du Ruo didn't dare to say anything when he saw Xie Ruzhuo's appearance. He knew a thing or two. Song Qingge chose to take risks this time, which was understandable. It was tacitly understood in the court. It was a large sum of money, but Sun Bingde said before that there would be a war to allocate the money. In fact, it was not so easy to poach such a large sum of money from Sun Bingde.

The effect of the New Deal is not obvious yet. When everyone has seen through the meaning behind it, don’t you give money to the Song family? Isn’t it clear that the New Deal is just for show, as long as you have the means, you can continue to make money, and Xie Ruzhuo is close to the Song family, Sun Bingde But that's not the case. Of course, the people close to the emperor are people they don't want to be close to. It is even more difficult for Song Qingge to take away the money.

Xie Ruzhuo had promised not to interfere in the New Deal, and Xie Ruzhuo had no money at all, so Song Qingge knew very well that this time he could only fight for it himself.

If you want to ask the court for money in a high-sounding and unmistakable way, the best way is to give the court some benefits and sweetness, such as winning a surprise battle first, so that the Song family will have the confidence to ask the court for money. Maybe the emperor can still In the name of rewards, he helped to get the money, and everything was very logical.

It is indeed safest to go to Wuzhou first, but to face Xu Zishen head-on, even if he can win, it will take a long time and he will pay a certain price. If you are caught off guard, you may not be able to win Minzhou if you are lucky.

This strategy does not seem to be Song Qingge's own idea. He has been fighting for many years, and his fighting style has been fixed. To grasp every opportunity and node, seize the preemptive strike before every move to win a big victory, and also beware of whether there are traps in Minzhou, this is more like the strategy Shen Ci will choose.

Someone must have said something to Song Qingge, and this person was someone Song Qingge trusted.

"The information we found said that Hua Yangjia didn't find Song Qing again before he left Beijing, how could that be?" Du Ruo's palms were sweating, "He couldn't have thought of this strategy when Song Qingge entered Beijing last time, but Even Xu Zishen didn't move at that time, who knows if he thought about going to Wuzhou first, maybe Xu Zishen himself told him?"

"Song Qing should have been told by other means, but not in person." Xie Ruzhuo calmed down his chest tightness caused by being too nervous, "I have already asked the people from Dongchang to go to Song Qing's house to keep an eye on him all the time."

The most frightening thing now is what if the people they sent to Chizhou did not catch up with Song Qingge's actions, and what if Xu Zishen knew about this plan a long time ago, maybe this marching route map is just A thing that is convenient for the opponent to plan for the next step. It contains all Hua Yangjiao's guesses and thoughts about the future battle situation. It is a good thing for Dazhao.

"I hope I can catch up." Du Ruo saw that Xie Ruzhuo's three souls and seven souls were almost gone, so he could only comfort him, "Song Zongbing is lucky, he will be fine."

Xie Ruzhuo closed his eyes and nodded. Du Ruo hesitated again and again, but still asked: "Your Majesty, Hua Yangjiao...why is he? If he wants to get ahead and climb up, it's not that he has no chance. He has done a good job in the Ministry of Punishment. It's possible to be promoted to Minister of the Minister, so why bother?"

"Because this is far from all he wants." Xie Ruzhuo smiled wryly, "He is much more ambitious than you think."

"He wants to join the cabinet?" Du Ruo sighed, "It's not impossible."

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said: "Joining the cabinet is not enough. He claims to be an amazing talent, not inferior to you, not inferior to Sun Bingde, but he has always been unrecognized for his talent. He can't bear to be inferior to anyone. If he wants to do it, he must be the head of civil servants." , to be No.1 in this world."

Du Ruo was speechless, wondering how this person became like this.

In the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't figure it out when he learned about Hua Yangjiao's rebellion. He clearly gave Hua Yangjia what he wanted, such as power, status, and trust.

Later, after hearing Hua Yangjiao tell him personally before his death, he knew that even so, Hua Yangjiao was not satisfied.

Because he trusts Du Ruo more and favors Du Ruo more, and Du Ruo has long been the next chief minister of the cabinet in his heart. In the future, Du Ruo will be the head of the civil servants, and the No. 1 who will open the Great Yu Dynasty with him.

Hua Yangjie used to be jealous that Du Ruo had a better background than him, and that Du Ruo had a smooth sailing. In the end, he was still jealous that Du Ruo could stand at a higher peak than him and get more things than him.

Since Dayu can't fulfill his grand plan and great cause, then go to Dazhao and help Dazhao to rule the world. He is the No. 1 standing at the top of the world. There will be no Du Fangzhou in the world, only him Hua Shangyuan.

Decades of ups and downs did not create Hua Yangjiao's tenacity, but pushed him to the darker and darker side, and his pursuit of power and status has reached the point of paranoia and madness. To do it, you must be a real master , not reconciled to being overwhelmed by others, and to live such a life of being underappreciated.

This is a person whose mind has been distorted many years ago. It was he, Xie Ruzhuo, who was blind and mistrusted this kind of person for ten years.

Xie Ruzhuo stayed up all night, waiting for the results of Jin Yiwei's interrogation, and also waiting for news from Chizhou. He was afraid that if he didn't receive any news immediately, he would miss something and lead to an irreversible tragedy.

There was no urgent report from the front line, and the people in the caravan said everything they needed to say under the interrogation methods of the prison. Wei Yang presented all the confessions to Xie Ruzhuo. He also obviously stayed up all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he should be worried Too bad, his voice became hoarse: "The ink merchants in the northern part of Hengchuan relied on the big tree of Lu Jin, the Shangshu of the Dazhao Household Department, two years ago, and the business there was secretly carried out by Lu Jin's official, Lu Yuan. Manipulation, the people in the caravan are all Lu family's confidantes. The news they passed on to Hua Yangjiao is similar to what His Majesty guessed. Just pass on the things you need, but this guy is innocent and doesn't usually do other things for them, so we didn't find any problems before. The man is dead. After learning that the people in the caravan were arrested, Those who committed suicide in fear of crime, and did not find anything useful at home, should help deliver things."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded, and said: "Many people in the court must have heard the news, you should release the news, and let the world know what you found."

Wei Yang responded, was silent, and said: "Song Qing said, after Hua Yangjiao left Beijing, he got a note left by this person in a document, asking Song Zongbing to go to Minzhou, the note has been burned , He didn't dare to say it at the time, afraid... afraid that it would be disadvantageous to the Song family, so he wrote to tell Zongbing Song the contents of the note."

Xie Ruzhuo had been mentally prepared for a long time. He couldn't scold Song Qing for being stupid, and he didn't want to say that good fortune tricked others. He could only close his eyes and said, "Hua Yangjiao's home, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his Mozhai house should be thoroughly searched again. .”

Wei Yang didn't know what else to do, so he could only respond numbly, and hurriedly retreated to deal with these messy things.

Xie Ruzhuo barely ate anything that day, and had been waiting for news from Chizhou.

And the Dongchang Fanzi who were sent to Chizhou went all the way at full speed. They had just entered the boundary of Chizhou at this time, but they already felt that something was wrong, and Song Qingge, who was supposed to be in Xuanyi Mansion, had already left.
